 And that is the Old Farmers' Almanac Radio Report. Have a question for the old farmer? Ask it at almanac.com. I was in the hospital with my son for 18 months. When he got injured, I wasn't prepared, but I knew I had to be strong. When I was told about John's injury, I was in complete shock. I just remember rushing into his room and giving him a big hug and letting him know I was there.
